    validate in access 16, to start with a specific character

    There's no inputmasks against any of the fields (in the form) in the db you uploaded. Edit: Add the inputmask to the form field. Also, remove the @ symbol from Format property of the the field. If you leave it there, your "A " part will not be displayed. Edit: Edit: Use the inputmask I...

    Access as a front-end only (replace? with what?)

    I agree with the adage 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'. Having said that, you mention that some users are using Apple machines, so you may want to consider cross-platform developing. So, check out Xojo. It's free to download and develop (learn). It compiles to an exe and whatever the...

    Open certain forms based on cbo value

    Depending upon what you want to achieve, if you want to reference your second form on return to your first form, that is possible. While in the second form you set the form to SecondForm.Visble = False, that hides the form and you are returned to the first form. At this point you can then...

    How to remove Label stuck to Text box?

    I get the same behaviour when selecting the Label control from the Property Window. The Label control does get the focus, but the delete key doesn't work. I have to click back into the form (top menu bar), then the Label control still has the focus and the delete key deletes the Label...

    Switching subforms within forms

    It's 4.15 am in the UK, so I suppose all my UK friends are sleeping, so I'll add my two bits in regarding Uncle Gizmo's example. I think what @Uncle Gizmo is suggesting (suck it up) is import the code and try it out (if that's not what he's suggesting I'm sure he'll correct me). That 32,768...

    Switching subforms within forms

    Yes, in design mode, it can appear to be a bit of a mess. Another consideration is the use of a Tab Control, in your case 5 page tab control, each page containing a subform. In design mode it will appear tidier, but that is not the reason to adopt the Tab Control approach, who cares what...

    Switching subforms within forms

    My initial thoughts are to include in your main form all the subforms required, I'm assuming not that many. Anyway, from your combobox when selecting an entry, make visible the relevant subform and hide all the others, this would be done from the AfterUpdate event of your combobox. I would...

    IDs in Lookup tables

    What @theDBguy said. OP, in your situation I would still have Lookup tables but I would not refer to their PrimaryKeys but to the actual values. This has a side benefit of not needing to include the Lookup tables in other queries, the data is contained in the main table. Simplifies things...

    count records in search from

    I'm not really sure what the OP wanted help on, as he didn't offer any further explanation to your earlier questions. I merely assumed dcount, provided an example and was waiting for a response from the OP, which may have elicited further information. Admittedly, I didn't check the actual...

    count records in search from

    @JHB - you hadn't posted when I started. It took me 15 mins just to download db, check form, confirm dcount, but actually took me longer to compose and submit post.

    Do a Debug.print of your SQL variable and post here. Your screenshot does not show the entire creation of your SQL query. I haven't analysed it for syntax errors at this point in time.
